Bio
In this newsletter it’s going to be discussing about how we waste coal, how can it affect the environment and social, what can we do to prevent wasting coal, and what are the uses of coal.
What Does Coal Manufacture?
Coal manufactures many things. There are 2 different types of main coal, metallurgical coal and thermal coal. Metallurgical coal only produces coke (fuel), iron, steel petroleum, cement and synthetic rubber. Thermal coal creates just, 56% of the electricity, and heat generation.
How Do We Waste Coal?
- street lights on during the morning and afternoon- use natural sunlight in the morning and afternoon instead of using streetlights
- projector on when not using- turn of when not using (school)
- take long baths- take short shower that last 4-5 minutes instead of long baths
- turn on the air conditioner when it's winter- open the windows for wind
- using standard light bulbs- Use energy efficient light bulbs or LED light bulbs
- turn on the water tap while brushing your teeth- turn of the taps when not using
- turn on all the electricity devices when leaving- turn of all the devices when leaving or when not using
- taxi/bus leave engines on while no one is driving- turn of the engines when not using
And Some More On How We Waste Coal.......
I waste time and energy in front of the fridge
People spend about 10.4 hours a year staring at an open fridge.
I leave the lights on when I exit a room
They’re just as easy to turn on as they're to turn off.
I fall asleep with the television on
If it's your nightly routine, it costs you about $55 a year or a nice dinner.
I keep my charged laptop and cell phone plugged-in
Psst.. It won’t go past 100%, but it’ll waste energy.
I leave fans on in empty rooms
Remember, fans cool people NOT rooms.
I forget to change out air filters
Think of the dust inhaled and energy wasted.

The effects that could happen to the earth and social when wasting electricity are……
all of them can create carbon dioxide (CO2) after burned that cause global warming as we face today
every 100 children who drink groundwater contaminated with arsenic from coal power plant wastes were at risk of developing cancer.
electronics itself have toxic material and some type of plastic will create toxic such as dioxin that can make you get cancer after it’s burned
